Computers

I came by the remains of a 486 computer, and asked someone at work if they could fix it, which they managed to do. Since then I have asked the person many questions which he patiently answered, though I suspect he became fed up with me constantly bringing in the computer to be fixed. I made the effort to try and sort out my own troubles and have gained some experience and satisfaction learning.

Computers are still relatively new to me I am gradually learning as I go along, I wish I had someone who had all the answers to my questions from whom I could learn. The favourite pc magazine that used to read was PC Answers I personally liked the style it was written in and enjoyed the features such as over clocking and the clinic. I managed to build myself a computer it consists of a socket7 mainboard, K6 amd 450mhz cpu, 64mb ram, 6 gig. hdd, it has 8mb onboard graphics, and onboard sound. There seems to be so many different things you can use a computer to do, I seem to be mainly tinker upgrading old computers for fun, and play the occasional game. This web site I created using notepad, it is my first attempt you will have to forgive me if it is not very good, I hope to improve it but my knowledge is very limited, maybe I will learn more if I go to evening classes, I wish I had a friend locally who could help me develop my understanding of computers. I have updated this site hopefully so it looks better.

(Update) I have done a CLAIT course, and ECDL course, which have given me some understanding of Microsoft products, eg: Word, Excel, and Access etc. I am wondering about another course to progress onwards. I have over the last eight months built two computers one for myself, and one for my son. These are based on ECS K7S5A motherboards, with AMD Duron 1000mhz CPU's which are adequate at the moment, I also used what I could from our old AMD K6 computers eg: Hard Drives CD Drives, And some memory, and a Graphics card to cut down on costs. I have also now installed a DVD writer, which is amultiformat drive.
